About us

The initiators and also owners of AlufishingBoats BV are Poul Meijer and Rene Hunfeld. We are also the people behind Nautische Unie Hunfeld B.V. and we have years of experience as distributor of the famous Starweld aluminum welded fishing boats.

After visiting the factory, we have decided to go for the distributor-ship of Crestliner. We are very impressed with the quality of the boats and the professionalism of the organization. This together with a very nice line-up of models that can be delivered completely to the customers wish has fully convinced us. Crestliner welded aluminum fishing boats are a great addition to our program.

About Crestliner
The first Crestliner was designed and produced in 1946. The purpose was to build a sustainable boat that could fulfill all the dreams of the recreational and competitive fisherman. Many successful years of development and innovation followed. In 2004 Crestliner was acquired by the Brunswick Corporation along with fellow brands Lund and Lowe. From this point Crestliner unfortunately disappeared from the European scene. Crestliner and Lund boats are produced in the same modern factory in New York Mills MN. The quality of both brands is high and the biggest difference between the two is that Lund is riveted and Crestliner is fully welded!

Sales and Inventory
AlufishingBoats BV is working with dealers in several European countries. The exclusive dealer for The Netherlands is Nautische Unie Hunfeld B.V. The boats are in the showroom at Seendweg 16 in Delfzijl.

Crestliner advantage

LEGENDARY FOUR-X HULL

Every Crestliner is engineered from the water up, and backed up with the best warranty on the water. A transferable Lifetime +3 Warranty and Limited Lifetime Warranty protects your investment with total confidence. That warranty also means Crestliner's hold their resale value better than any other boat manufacturer.

EXTRUDED FULL LENGHT KEEL

Competitive keel designs are often an afterthought attached with rivets. A Crestliner keel is purposefully integrated as one piece using our tongue and groove continuous seam welding process.

INTERLOCKING CONSTRUCTION

We build our boats using our pioneered interlocking tongue and groove construction method.
This ensures all parts of the hull fit together in perfect harmony before a single weld is made. It;s the strongest, most logical way to build an aluminum boat—our lifetime limited warranty proves it.

CONTINUOUS WELDING PROCESS

Our legendary hulls are created by joining only the best aluminum with the skilled craftsmanship of our welders. Continuous welds run along the tongue and groove connection points from bow to stern, creating the strongest and smoothest one-piece hull in existence.

REFINED FINISH

It's no surprise that the Built Right philosophy guiding the construction of a Crestliner also guides its finishing touches. A boat built to last forever deserves a fit and finish designed to do the same. From baked-on automotive quality paint and hand-smoothed hulls and interior touches, the details add up quickly.

INDUSTRY’S STRONGEST WARRANTY

Every Crestliner is engineered from the water up, and backed up with the best warranty on the water. A transferable Lifetime +3 Warranty and Limited Lifetime Warranty protects your investment with total confidence. That warranty also means Crestliner's hold their resale value better than any other boat manufacturer.

INDUSTRY LEADING INNOVATIONS

Our modern design and construction techniques allow us to create one of the most sought after Deep-V boats in the industry. We live for the water ourselves, too, which is why you see more thoughtful improvements to our boats every year. We hope you and your family benefit from our passion and commitment to excellence.
